About this map

Wenatchee Mountains topography dominates this late 20th-century survey, specifically where the border between Chelan and Kittitas Counties crosses Blewett Pass. The landscape is characterized by its high-elevation meadows and industrial history, with numerous Prospect markings and the Swauk Prospects indicating a legacy of mineral exploration. Waterways like Tronsen Creek and Swauk Creek carve through the high terrain, which includes landmarks like Mount Lillian and Diamond Head.

The presence of Tronsen Campground, Haney Meadow Campground, and Lion Rock Spring Campground reflects the area's role within the Wenatchee National Forest. High-country meadows, such as Swauk Meadow and Upper Naneum Meadow, provide natural breaks in the timbered slopes. Traceable 4wd tracks and trails link these remote points, offering a clear view of the backcountry infrastructure used by foresters and recreationists alike.
